#baby Manwe

[ylieke]

A fragment of a quite compex illustraion for a wild sci-fi silmarillion AU, which I was not able to finish.. May be some day~

[cilil]

I like to imagine that little Melkor was probably crying and stomping his feetsies (or whatever other limbs he had successfully conjured) every 5 minutes or so because he wasn't getting his way and then little Manwë started crying too out of solidarity and then Eru once again regretted being the single dad of the Ainurin race

[istaricelebelasse]

For the WIP thing: next

Carnistir’s tiny eyes narrowed, and for a moment Manwë was certain that Fëanaro himself stood before him so great was the anger in the toddler’s features.

[gxldenfinwe]

-sniffles, thinking about his children showing him Middle Earth-

[kn11ves]

melkor barely constraining his anger: my dearest baby brother i pinky swear ill be a good little boy now

manwe: hmm . ok!

mandos:

[melkors-big-tits]

Also you shall get cake💖

Angbang Week - Day 7

@angbangweek So...for the grand finale...One scene of utter madness! (And aaaaaah SO much bad art!!!)

Words: 705

Characters: Mairon, Melkor, Gothmog, Saruman & a surprise guest

Warnings: I am a dumb bitch. Be advised! Also, the jokes are in German...I'll explain :)

Special thanks to @cilil without whom none of these pieces would have been made and who inspired this piece. Yes, we have a lot of BTS discussions...

“Well, this is a surprise,” Melkor bleated and���in his initial panic—promptly kicked a bucket all the way through the small hangar in which he had awoken as from a deep sleep.

“You don’t say, master,” his beloved Mairon grunted, visibly displeased by the dirt clinging to his rosy, pink skin. “We’ll end up on someone’s plate!”

He had already scouted the area and found that—despite the misleading name—the region was overgrown with very regular, green trees. They were hardly black and the picturesque little cottages specking the charming landscape didn’t strike him as particularly sombre either. How disappointing!

Before Melkor would voice his nascent curiosity as to the potential reincarnation—their essences having been poured into delicious meat rather than formidable flesh—of any of his other cronies, a small kid-goat rammed its way through the partition.

“Oi, you won’t believe it,” Gothmog cried. “I still have horns but, for some unfathomable reason, I am really small and very fluffy.” He sounded strangely and unmistakably amused by that fact.

“Gothmog,” Melkor greeted enthusiastically. “Well met, my old friend.”

“You won’t believe what I’ve found!” Gothmog bleated excitedly. “It’s a kind of cake, soft as clouds, with some creamy, delicious stuff layered in and fruit soaked in strong spirits!”

“How would you know?” Mairon—or rather Sau-ron—asked suspiciously, narrowing his gleaming, beady eyes.

“Where did you find it? And did you leave any for me?” Melkor interrupted, seemingly unfazed by the fact that his deplorable sidekick had just singlehandedly made the probability that they’d end up on the chopping block skyrocket.

“Duh! In the kitchen; they put it on the windowsill. Good thing I was given a body willing and able to sample just about anything!”

“You’ll get sick nonetheless,” Mairon predicted with barely dissimulated Schadenfreude. “Congratulations on being reembodied and promptly regressing into theft and other crimes!”

“Ah, but cake!” Melkor whined pleadingly, stomping his hooves and tossing his furry head impatiently. He seemed very eager to follow Gothmog into his hare-brained heist rather than hatch out a solid plan regarding their vitally important and increasingly pressing escape.

“I repeat,” Mairon cut him off sharply, “we are in a much more precarious situation than ever before. We shall be slaughtered and consumed—come to think of it, I’d probably welcome that. Don’t look at me!”

His innate vanity was lethally wounded by the rotund, cushy shape of his physical prison—he had ever despised and loathed swine and it was the summum of punitive measures to bind him to such an undignified form.

“It suits you,” Melkor said soothingly, rubbing his smelly head against the bouncy ribs of his former lieutenant. “And I’d rather see you alive as a little pig than to be deprived of your sparkling company.”

Somewhat reconciled, Mairon’s sharp mind took stock of their situation—they had been freed, which was good, but they were now amongst the lowest of the low, which was distinctively less good.

“We need to escape,” he declared, looking expectantly into the uncanny eyes of two goats. Both were already munching happily on the splinters Gothmog’s tempestuous entrance had left on the floor. “If we don’t want to be returned to the endless nothingness before we’ve even had the chance to subjugate, I mean explore, this new world.”

“Sound plan,” Melkor praised warmly. To Mairon’s distress and annoyance, he went on chomping on everything he could get his voracious mouth on though, instead of offering any good ideas on how they’d manage that necessary jailbreak.

Outside the barn, a rooster screamed melodically.

“Oh, someone is bellyaching,” Gothmog commented, then froze, his woolly ears twitching in dim recognition. “Could this be…?”

A loud crash interrupted his earnest attempts at rational reflection.

“Hmmm-wow,” an enchanting voice exclaimed. The bull—his fur a swirl of blinding white and multi-coloured, iridescent spots—froze within the massive hole he had torn into the wall.

“Master,” he greeted Mairon with a small dip of his bulky head which made the bell tied around his thick neck jingle merrily. “I’ve come to free you. There is a very suspicious bird perched outside, and I feel that he shall not be alone for long.” “Indeed,” Mairon grunted. “Let’s go…”

So, there we have it. The last day. Now for the art!!!

𝒮𝒶𝓊𝓇𝑜𝓃: The word "Sau" means "sow", female pig

𝒢𝑜𝓉𝒽𝓂𝑜𝑔: That one is clear and in English :)

Lots and lots, really, buckets of love from me! This was such a fun event! Thank you for being here with me! 💓💓

[penny-anna]

Another thing to remember w the Eagles is that lord of the rings takes place in a world where there are objectively real gods & a genre where divine intervention is an occasional narrative feature. so when a plot point seems like a deus ex machina it's like. Yeah lmao. That was Manwe god of the sky deciding to help out.

'why did he only help out right at the end' last minute divine intervention baby!! It's like when Athena shows up and resolves everything at the end of the Odyssey.

[swanmaids]

Hot take… none of the Nolofinweans is “the boring one” and all are unhinged.

Fingolfin - obvious really. Challenged Satan to single combat and called him a coward AND MORGOTH CAME. Marched across an icy wasteland just to tell his half brother that he’s a bitch. Didn’t get complacent with the siege for even half a second.

Anaire - “fuck them kids”. Saw her husband and all of her children about to go into exile and decided she’d rather hang out with her girl bestie instead.

Fingon - murdered innocents. Sung a jaunty little tune while trekking through Hell and it WORKED. Rescued his cousincest failboyfriend after possibly the worst breakup of all time. Manwe felt sorry for him. Told baby Glaurung to go crawling back to mummy and he DID. Balrog fight.

Turgon - disappeared in the middle of the night with thousands of people forever because “ulmo is sending me dreams”. Morgoth had crazy beef with him SPECIFICALLY. Died screaming about the glory of the Noldor while his city fell around his ears. SUCH a hater towards his cousins that it went down in the historical record.

Aredhel - also part of aforementioned disappearance. Moved to a city where nobody could leave ever and then just…left. “My cousins who killed everyone and abandoned us to the ice are my besties actually”.

Argon - THEEEE impetuous. Literally all we know about him is he went crazy went stupid at the battle of the Lammoth and died.

Maeglin - probably you don’t want him in your secret city. Looked at seven year old Earendil and said “fuck this one kid in particular”. Strange affinity with moles.

Idril - Plagued By Visions. Secret Tunnel In the Secret City Because Bitches Love Secrets. That Ban Of the Noldor Won’t Stop Me (Or My Sexy Old Man Mortal Husband) Because I Can’t Read.

Earendil - seven years old and everyone wants to kill him. “I don’t want to do my super important quest I want my wife”. But also hold his beer while he saves the world that failed him. Covered in jewels glittery sexy swag. 1v1 with a dragon and WON.

[malkaleh]

Rings of Power 2X08

FIRST OF ALL HOW I AM SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL 2026 UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. HOW.

Secondly CHARLES EDWARDS YOU OWE ME INFINITY TRILLION DOLLARS IN EMOTIONAL DAMAGES. INFINITY.

(I still very much think Celebrimbor actually willed himself dead there, as the last thing he had left he could do :((((( :/)

(Also the horrible awful intimacy in whatever torture had clearly been going on for a while there - that face caress was so so creepy and awful and the blank spaces FUCK).

CHARLIE VICKERS YOU ALSO OWE ME INFINITY TRILLION DOLLARS. ACTUALLY THE WHOLE CAST OWES ME BUT THE CHARLIES ESPECIALLY. AND MORFYDD. AND ROB. AND BEN. AND ISHAMEL

(You know the worst thing is, the absolute most horrible thing is that I do think Sauron’s tears/words there about regret were completely genuine. Like, completely).

(For fic agenda reasons I also need to point out that in one of the drafts in the unfinished tales Sauron wanted to attack Lorien and Rivendell first and just like he wants to get his beloveds back UGH okay I know tactical reasons but also)

LEAVE MY SWEET BABY BIRACIAL ELROND ALONE YOU FUCKS. YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKS. (He is so soft and so kind and so gentle still and the way he stands in what I assume will become Imaldris is just MY HEART HURTS).

Sauron really was ‘soon as they unblock me the weddings are back on’ like I swear (I think he was extremely angry that Celebrimbor was going out of his reach).

(Still hasn’t mentioned Luthien, is still terrified out of his mind)

HI GANDALF.

ARONDIR LIVES MY BELOVED.

kemen i hope sauron sacrifices you first or an eagle eats you. Or you die slowly after stepping on Eressea/Valinor.

Hi islidur and theo are brothers now and also THEO IS GOING TO BE FINE HE IS NOT GOING TO BE EVIL I REFUSE.

ADAR. FUCK. (The way he loved his kids so much and yet by that love going wrong he fucked everything up is just ://///. Also GLUG IS FINE. HE IS FINE. HE IS GOING HOME TO HIS WIFE AND BABY GLUG).

(Sauron’s ex’s really are unionising/understanding each other)

Somewhere in mandos Feanor is like GET YOUR BITCH ASS HANDS OFF MY HAMMER LET ME AT HIM (Celebrimbor is getting ALL THE HUGS when he arrives okay, from EVERYONE).

Galadriel is continuing the family tradition of Dramatic and I love that for her. Also MORFYDD MORFYDD.

MIRIEL IS GOING TO BREAK MY HEART INTO PIECES. MY DARLING MIRIEL YOU ARE GOING TO BE FINE YOU ARE. YOU AND ELENDIL WILL BE GETTING MARRIED AND HAVING KIDS AND IT WILL BE SO CUTE.

Oh Earien :(((((. I love her i just…

The way you fall matters, even if that’s all you have left. Even if you will not win through, even if it is hopeless - it matters that you were kind, that you were good and you held to love and light and maybe you will not live to see it but the dawn will come is so…I really really needed that.

Gil-Galad Is an incredibly stressed dad (tm) and also oh my heart his face when he sees they are hurting Elrond could you please tell him in words (also stop with the microaggressions).

Islidur COME GET YOUR WIFE.

No really I keep imagining Celebrimbor arriving in Mandos and everyone, I mean everyone including Mandos and Manwe and Varda and EVERYONE just hugging him and reassuring him and bringing him tea and blankets and hot chocolate.

(Finrod is going to GO BACK TO MIDDLE EARTH AND FIGHT PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM HIS SISTER AND HIS HUSBAND AND WIFES BEST FRIENDS GREAT GRANDCHILD. Fingon is also going)

(Sauron really really did not want to not have Galadriel and Celebrimbor and Elrond beside him as consorts like please I need all the fic about this please trop writers please also include Elrond)

In conclusion eleven trillion stars out of five how am I supposed to wait two years, this cast owes me emotional damages.

[eri-pl]

In relation to previous posts (but also: I wanted to write this earlier)

Proper and improper uses of Melkor (also known as Morgoth):

Lawful good:

Blaming the weather patterns on him

Blaming some part of the problems on him

Looking at his decisions and using them as an example what not to do

Drawing him (scary)

Yeeting him into the void

Having him fall back from the Void?

Telling him whatever Hurin told him?

Stealing the Silmarils from him

Getting angry at him once in a while

Neutral good:

Drawing him (most of it)

Wondering about his psychology?

Chaotic good:

Calling him an idiot?

Complimenting his language skills

Giving him a redemption arc

Calling him blorbwë

Drawing him cute or sympathetic

Lawful neutral:

Letting him make announcements on your blog because you're bored

Blaming some of his issues on bad running and elvish family drama

Imagining the discord as jazz (therefore it can't be wholly bad...? Just badly in the wrong context?)

Thinking he's kinda cool?

Giving him really scary dialogue

Calling him strange epithets to avoid saying his actual name

Blaming other characters' bad decisions on him (spoiler: it was a joint effort)

Having Tulkas beat him up

Neutral:

Disliking him in general?

Making him ugly

Giving him horns?

Chaotic neutral:

Spelling him Moringotto or feanorian version, or his Valarin name or something even more difficult to understand

Idk just some choices?

Giving him toxic ships

Drawing him hot and/or too pretty

Lawful evil:

Going to parlay with him

Blaming some of his issues on other Valar

Calling him a Vala (post-Darkening)

calling him Melkor in any context that is not clearly pre-Darkening

Making him cute in your fanworks (baby dragons etc)

Having Turin "what could possibly go wrong" Turambar cut his head off with Anglachel "what could possibly go wrong here too" Gurthang.

Saying he's theologically accurate Satan

Neutral evil:

Cheering when he suffers, in general

Taking the extra mile to remind the reader that no, he wasn't repentant after the 300vy

Saying that Eru always loved Manwe more (Pengolodh!!!) (seriously Pengolodh have you ever see anything even remotely related to good parenting?)

Chaotic evil:

Saying that all the evil things in FA were necessary because they led to Morgoth's defeat

Saying that Melkor's evil was necessary and throwing him under the bus anyway (or is this CE?)

Worshipping him

Trying to get immortality from him

Burning people

Basically anything Sauron said to do?

Saying he was right

*(good is based on my opinion, lawful on Tolkien's opinion)

Blaming his issues on Eru

Cheering when he makes others suffer (yes, even the Feanorians)

[nyarnamaitar]

So, I was having some sad Manwe/Melkor moments and I just realized that after Dagor Dagorath, when Melkor's finally dead and the world is rejoicing; the only living being that is mourning him is Manwe, his brother, his other half and I can't help but think what's it like being in Manwe's place, hearing everyone around him celebrate (justifiedly) his brother's death and having to accept that, like that shit hurt.

Apologies for answering this so late, @starlitelwing. <3 I'm SO bad at online stuff, it's unbelievable. I really appreciate you sending this my way -- although it breaks my shipper heart!!! How dare you!!!

No, for real, I've thought about this so much. Although I think he still has a solid support system around him to deal with the loss of his brother (I believe that Manwë gets along well with most if not all his Ainur kin), he's the only one truly mourning Melkor. And not only is this incredibly isolating, he's probably also dealing with a good amount of, not shame exactly, but something akin to it, because shouldn't he be happy too? Content? The world is healed and everything is good and for the first time in probably ever, he can truly relax and enjoy creation without having to protect it from destruction, and yet he just can't, because Melkor is not there to enjoy it with him. Poor baby.

Not to worry though, because I staunchly HC that Melkor, after going through a rigorous redemption process (he has one-on-one therapy sessions with Eru while everyone else is rebuilding the world, lmfao), gets a second chance at life in Arda. c:

[superloves4]

While I slog through a fic I actually really want to tell (the joys of writing!) I decided to talk about that Feanor as Melkor's son AU I mentioned in my tags

So far I have three possibilities, from least realized to most:

Feanor as Melkor and Mairon bio baby, so far I don't really have much for this one, the Valar find baby Feanor after Melkor's imprisonment (haven't decided why Mairon wouldn't have escaped with the baby) and give him to Finwe to raise (I hadn't realized it doesn't makes sense for Miriel to die in this one until now, so either she doesn't and it's full throwing away canon or in this one she doesn't exist and Finwe just didn't want to tell Feanor who his real parents were, it's both sad and funny)

Baby Feanor kidnap adopted by Melkor, the timeline is bothering me here, maybe Feanor is born before Melkor's imprisonment? Or he leaves imprisonment way before the original? I mostly wanted this to be funny about Melkor and Mairon getting so attached and wanting so bad to be good parents to feral child Feanor that they actually get redeemed (although dark!Feanor x Nerdanel is very intriguing)

And the one I (unfortunately) have the most on (as of right now) is Feanor as Melkor... and Miriel's son, I jokingly thought about this one but alas it got bigger than I expected, so: Melkor decides to go mess with the elves only to find Miriel collecting bugs (they're silk worms, weird bug girl Miriel for the win!) and he gets actually quite impressed with her desire to not settle with the world and wanting to make it prettier with fabrics, they fall in love (or as much in love Melkor can be, so far he is more like canon evil Melkor than the softer one of the other two ideas) but when she finds out who he is, she runs away and falls for Finwe instead.

Finwe is then totally cool with raising Miriel's child because he loves her so much but Miriel keeps feeling she's awful for her previous love for Melkor, combined with the power required to sustain a half-ainur child, and ends up dying.

Finwe of course, absolutely adores little Feanor despite not being his bio dad, and thus names him Finwion (later Curufinwe), but raising a half-ainur child is not easy, especially when you can't actually ask anyone for help without revealing the truth, so Finwe just has to deal with eldritch child Feanor, alone.

(like, one time there's a teacher Feanor hates because he heard the teacher say that Feanor killed Miriel, so Feanor gives the teacher a bracelet he doesn't even understand how he made cursed, the teacher then complains to Finwe, who is just trying to understand how to explain to his son that he can't do that, also he fires the teacher)

Then it's basically the same as canon up until Melkor return, because instead of trying to create discord he arrives and realizes Feanor's his son and tries to pull a Darth Vader and convince Feanor to join him.

Feanor is, of course, against the idea but Melkor is convinced that if he reveals Feanor's true parentage in the upcoming festival then the uproar and hate will cause Feanor to be more willing.

Only, right before he can make his announcement Feanor shows up wearing the silmarils (Melkor decides to rename him Lightbringer but I haven't figured out what that is in Quenya) and instead of going along with Melkor, Feanor

Bows. to. MANWE!!!!!

And does a whole speech about Melkor trying to deceive him by claiming he isn't Finwe's son (Feanor already realized the truth, he's just rejecting it) and doing a whole spectacle of proof

The Finwe family isn't stupid and to Feanor's surprise, the first person to join his show is INDIS!!! Joined then (in order) by Nolo, Nerdanel, and Maglor (if it was political it would be Maedhros but it's a performance remember)

Manwe isn't stupid and understands what they are doing so when Melkor tries to say that it's all Finwe's lie he just tells Melkor that it was clear that Feanor was Finwe's son

Melkor storms out (he still plans to destroy the trees but his objective is Feanor instead of just the silmarils) and the Finweans leave too

Feanor has a cathartic talk and cry with his dad while the rest of the family discuss what this means for them all, Feanor is now more open to his half-family and his relation to the other Valas is totally different, and how that could end up having happier ending to the story.

And that's how much I have of this one, it compels me but it's the only one that I have no idea of how to add Melkor x Mairon and the original idea was about THEM as parents whereas this one is about the original Finweans in a different situation so I'm conflicted

[feanoryen]

Things I would want from a Silmarillion show (part 1):

Season 1

Protagonist: Finwe, with Feanor as the secondary protagonist (a la Viserys I & Rhaenyra in HoTD season 1).

Events covered:

Episode 1

Establish Finwe's personality and relationship with Miriel early on. Also introduce Indis.

Finwe, Ingwe, & Elwe journey to Aman with Orome.

Episode ends with Finwe, Ingwe, & Elwe seeing the light of the two trees and being in disbelief.

Episode 2

Shows Finwe, Ingwe, & Elwe return to middle earth.

Show Elwe meeting Melian after returning and establish his brother Olwe as an important secondary character.

Also introduce Cirdan and establish his relationship with Elwe/Thingol.

Episode ends with the second journey to Aman.

Episode 3

Mostly a filler episode.

Just show how the elves are doing in their new home.

Establish Manwe & his closeness with Ingwe (and the Vanyar).

Finwe finds out he's going to be a father and is overjoyed but his pregnant wife seems miserable and is spewing some concerning seemingly prophetic things.

Miriel goes into labor cliffhanger, says the famous line "Never again shall I bear a child" or something.

Episode 4

Miriel dies.

Focuses mostly on Feanor's childhood with several time skips and establishes Finwe & Feanor's incredibly strong codependent father/son bond.

Finwe comes to terms with the fact Miriel no longer wishes to live

Focuses on Finwe's developing relationship with Indis.

Finwe declaring he'll marry Indis and the Valar allowing it.

Time skip to Fingolfin's birth to establish the tension in the Noldor's royal family.

The episode ends with Feanor leaving to go out on his own at the elven equivalent of 15/16. It's clear the main reason he's leaving is because of his father's new family though.

Episode 5

Finwe is pretty depressed this episode with the absence of Feanor in his life.

Add splashes of Indis's kids childhoods, but mainly focus on Fingolfin.

Show how distant Finwe is to his younger kids compared to Feanor.

Feanor does his apprenticeship under Mahtan and develops a romance with Nerdanel.

Episode ends with Feanor introducing Nerdanel to Finwe and father and son reconciling. Fingolfin is also in the elven of someone in his late teens by the time of Feanor's return.

Episode 6

Feanor & Nerdanel are married by the start of the episode.

Feanor manages to maintain a good relationship with Finwe but gives a cold shoulder to everyone else.

Feanor realizes Fingolfin became popular in Tirion while he was away and feels threatened that by the idea the Noldor might prefer Fingolfin to him. It only adds tension to their relationship that Fingolfin questions him more than he's comfortable with.

Baby Maedhros is born somewhere in the episode and his father name causes quite the stir.

Feanor also makes one (or more) of his well known inventions, not the Silmarills though.

Episode 7

Large timeskip. All of Finwe's children plus Maedhros, Maglor, and Fingon are adults.

The Finwean cousins dynamics are explored with a spotlight being put on Russingon and their Madara/Hashirama type dynamic.

Feanor askes for Galadriel's hair but she says no.

Feanor makes the Silmarils.

Melkor, the agent of chaos, starts convincing Feanor that Fingolfin wants to usurp him.

Feanor threatens Fingolfin.

Episode 8

Feanor gets banished. His sons and Finwe join him.

Melkor comes knocking on Feanor's doors and Feanor realizes Melkor wants the Silmarills and tells him to screw off.

Melkor murders Finwe while Feanor isn't home.

Feanor returns to his house to find his father's dead body.

[elluendifad]

Hi sweetie! I went through your tags to search for more elfkind content and serotonine, and I am curious. Why the tag "my mother's name is death?

let's see... i started using that tag in tuile of 2019. i was mourning the loss of a chosen father, the birth father of my then-husband who had reappeared in husband's 20s after being separated when he was a baby, and executing his estate. He had passed mid-narquelie the previous year.

That was the third year of my elven awakening, and of my 'new life' hard won through therapy and buddhism and just slowing down in the woods. That's the spatial context, the tapestry that led to this tag. The shortest possible answer is that i revere the cycles of decay and formation, and that decay and death are a link in the chain of infinite transformations that is life (animistically including nonanimated creation). i reflect on death as an act of love, of compassion, of continuation and creative improv on the Theme of life. Death is Life, Life is Death... we are all made for one another and made of one another. I have a fond feeling about this, as it has made my hroa and this world that i so adore, death has mothered this world and my place in it. longer answer and fiddly words below The forest, and the whole world, is fed on death. my bones once belonged to another, to trees and microbes and cats and fish and mountains. the air i breathe now has been through every manner of respiratory body imaginable, has been high with the clouds, has hung over the ocean, has oxidized metal, has been pushed through lush soil. my skin cells dry and fall off and feed creatures i cannot see, build soil, are transformed into something new. someday, my bones will belong to others again. my flesh will be gifts for beings i cannot even imagine, just as it was originally a gift to me from countless others. Death has made my body for me, and Death will make new things once i have left it. i miss living in the deep woods, but even now i look fondly on death and decay in the garden bed, in the kitchen compost, and in the clover of the yard. in the cold wet air from the river. in the faces and hands of people i love. i associate this with Namo and Vaire, of course, but also with all the Aratar. Yavanna and Aule and Manwe and Ulmo have very obvious places in this sphere--they created the flows of matter that are fed by change and death and that feed other cycles. I feel Varda, Nienna, and Orome have their own hands in death. Varda in hope and what lies beyond just one life, Nienna in metabolizing sorrow and longing and misery, and Orome in the necessity of Death for Life--someone must die for me to live, and i *want* to live just as they want to live. I want to make all the deaths that are linked to my life and death cherished and meaningful. I want my death and daily dying to give life and food and warmth to trillions of beings.

I have seen two episodes of the new Rings of Power season so far and I love so. Spoilers for those ones (I will be getting on to the rest)

Charlie Vickers I have no idea how you manage to become an ageless terrifying alluring evil but kudos. Because even just in his eyes, you can see it - that sense of not even immortality but beyond time, beyond space. And also how Sauron works! Like thank you for the terrifyingly competent evil!

(Side note the fact that Charlie is Australian made me think ‘Sauron but he’s an Aussie’ and I can’t stop laughing. Specifically from Geelong)

MANWE MENTION MANWE MENTION ULMO MENTION BY IMPLICATION VALAR SAYS NO

My beloved biracial icon Elrond continuing his mothers tradition of ‘fuck you’ :jumps into water with jewel: (also I completely believe he survives because Maia Heritage + Everyone Rightfully Has Soft Spot For Line Of Luthien) - and it makes sense! (I don’t know how much they can talk about Beren/Luthien and the Silmarils but Elrond knows what Jewellery Conflicts Can Do. Lived experience(s).

Cirdan being incredibly ancient and also incredibly incredibly chill with it is So Cool Actually. (Like yes obviously, he has seen So Much).

Celebrimbor is actually going to emotionally murder me because we know what’s coming. We know how Sauron is using all his desires to do good, to create/heal, to be known as something other than That Feanorians Son and also we know he is going to ultimately give Sauron Fuck All. I hope he does insult the fuck ass hair bow and flips him off before he goes to Mandos.

(Also listen that is a seduction actually just like with Galadriel he is Seducing and enjoying it).

I still want Sauron to somehow meet Elrond and run away in screaming terror, haunted by the Luthien Of It All.

DISA DISA 🥰 I think also, the way it hurts because we see so many places that in LOTR are well, fallen into ruin. But here we see them as they were, beautiful and alive and real. Disa the powerbroker, the peacemaker but also in her own right so much a leader. (And her singing!)

What they are doing with the orcs is so so true to Tolkien I will fight people on that one (because they were tortured and manipulated and essentially brainwashed and with the death of Morgoth, some of it shattering). Also SAURON YOU FUCK ASS MAIA EVIL HO.

(You ever manipulate a situationship so badly they stab you and then you get into it again and further manipulate them this time).

(Also OH MY G-D Sauron being like ‘I HAD FINROD FELAGUND IN MY DUNGEONS WHAT THE FUCK’)

(WEREWOLF GUY. Do not set a werewolf to guard a werewolf guy). Anyway as a tale of Beren and Luthien enjoyer!!!!

GALADRIEL SWEETIE. You did nothing wrong except all the things you did but also you did nothing wrong.

I love love the Istari plotline as well but I’m hoping we see some more diversity of Harad etc. (Also STARS. HI VARDA. HI).

Elrond my sweet baby kind as summer darling ILU forever
